Fine R&R by the lake indeed, that sounds good!! You need to persuade Percy to bring you some of that Chi town pizza to you, Kris and everyone else. Hand delivered by Percy himself of course, best take away ever me thinks!!!

Hi, everyone, I know some of you are living in the Chicago area, we would like to know you besides on the message board. But the main reason for me is to know you on a , patient to patient, face to face, and heart to heart level and appreciate God's gift that we are still have the chance to join together in fighting this war on cancer. We can encourage each other, we can cheer for other and we can share our emotion journey together knowing that cure or better treatment will be around the corner.So I am now inviting you all one more time, caretakers are especially welcome so you can understand more from a patient's perspective . Or if you prefer, I will talk about the Blackhawks ,the Bears or how to grow bitter melon in you own back yard. It will be just an informal gathering for you to have a chance to meet all of us , Marion, our tireless work horse across continent , Barbara, our devoted medical conference booth connection,Karen, our oncology nurse who in pursuit of being a patient advocate for us and our foundation operation director Kim, and may be Rick, our web master among others. That is it. It will be this coming Saturday evening around 7-pm at down Chicago between Michigan ave and the Chicago river.If interest, please reply to this message thread or send me a forum e mail.God bless.
